This recipe is easy to prepare and filled with all healthy ingredients. All you need is a crock pot! This is a great meal for those cold winter days and the whole family will love this alternative to regular chili. If you are really stranded for time you can use canned tomatoes and canned mushrooms. I used the chicken breasts that are cut into tenders(pulls apart a little easier then full breasts). If you're not a fan of Kale, then use spinach. Season it as much or as little as you want to your own taste preferences. Enjoy!!

Directions:1. In a food processor combine garlic, olive oil, pumpkin, salt and chili powder.2. Add in rice and half the can of black beans-- PULSE only a few times you don't want a paste3. Add flaxmeal and oat flour. PULSE again a few times4. Add rest of beans and pulse one or 2 more times5. Mixture should have texture to it6. Form into 4 patties7. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a pan on medium heat on stovetop.8. Cook patties until crispy on each side. About 2-3 minutes per side.

Enjoy on a salad or on a whole wheat roll. I'm love topping my burgers with avocado!
